Description

In my kitchen, tacos are like pasta. Flexible. This recipe is just one of a hundred different ways you can fix them. Most families enjoy the ease and simplicity of a good taco night. Buy a thick piece of fish and cut it into uniform pieces that will cook evenly, without dry- ing out. You can use the DIY Corn Tortillas on pages 105–6 or store-bought tortillas.
